Important notes

Take note of the safety hints provided in the "Safety" manual, in the "Professional Notebook" operating manual and in this manual.

Safety information

Please note the information provided in the "Safety" manual and in the following safety notes.

Please pay attention to the sections in the manual marked with the symbol shown on the left.

• Refer to the instructions in Section "Preparation for use and operation", Page 3" during installation and before operating the device.
• The instructions relating to environmental conditions in the "Technical Data" section of the "EasyGuide" manual for your notebook must also be observed.

Transporting the device

Transport all parts separately in their original packaging or in a packaging which protects them from knocks and jolts, to the new site.

Do not unpack them until all transportation manoeuvres are completed.

Cleaning the device

Turn off all power and equipment switches and remove the power plug from the mains supply.

Do not clean any interior parts yourself, leave this job to a service technician.

Ensure that no liquid enters the system.

The surface can be cleaned with a dry cloth. If particularly dirty, use a cloth that has been moistened in mild domestic detergent and then carefully wrung out.

Preparation for use and operation

Please observe the safety information in "Important notes", Page 2.

Unpacking and checking the delivery

Unpack all the individual parts.
Check the delivery for damage incurred during transportation.
Check whether the delivery conforms to the details in the delivery note.

Should you discover that the delivery does not correspond to the delivery note, notify your local sales outlet immediately.

Do not discard the original packing material of the devices. You may need the packaging in the future if you need to transport your device.

Setting up the Port Replicator

Select a suitable location for the Port Replicator before setting it up. Consider the following points when selecting a location:

• Never place the Port Replicator on a soft surface (e.g. carpeting, upholstered furniture, bed). This can block the air vents and cause overheating and damage.
• Place the Port Replicator on a stable, flat and nonslippery surface. Please note that the rubber feet may mark certain types of surfaces.
• Never place the Port Replicator and the mains adapter on a heat-sensitive surface.
• Never cover the fan intake or exhaust openings of the Port Replicator or the mains adapter.
• The Port Replicator should not be exposed to extreme environmental conditions. Protect the Port Replicator from dust, humidity and heat.

Connecting the mains adapter to the Port Replicator

Connect the mains adapter cable to the DC jack (DC IN) of the Port Replicator (1).
Connect the power cable to the mains adapter (2).
Plug the power cable into the mains socket (3).

When the notebook is connected to a Port Replicator, the operating system creates a hardware profile for the "Docked" mode. In this profile, for example, the setting is saved as to which monitor was last used for output. This profile will be loaded, as soon as the notebook is connected to a Port Replicator of the same type.

Connecting the notebook to the Port Replicator

If you connect the notebook to the Port Replicator during operation, problems can occur. We recommend that you switch off the notebook beforehand.

When the notebook is connected to the Port Replicator, you must connect the mains adapter to the Port Replicator. Otherwise some connections will not function.

If the notebook is connected to the Port Replicator, then only the audio ports on the Port Replicator will be operational.

When the notebook is connected to the Port Replicator, we recommend that the notebook not be operated with the LCD screen closed. The resulting overheating can cause reduced performance and increased activity of the integrated fan.

Switch the notebook off.
Unplug the mains plug of the mains adapter from the mains socket.
Disconnect the mains adapter cable from the DC socket (DC IN) of the notebook.

Position the notebook so that it is in line with the back edge of the Port Replicator.
Place the notebook onto the Port Replicator (1) and ensure that it locks into place correctly.

Switching on the notebook via the Port Replicator

Press the ON/OFF switch on the Port Replicator to switch the notebook on.
The power-on indicator of the Port Replicator lights up.

Switching the notebook off via the Port Replicator

• Close all applications and shut down your operating system (please see operating system manual).

If the notebook cannot be shut down properly, press the ON/OFF button on the Port Replicator for approx. four seconds. The notebook switches off. However, any data which have not been saved may be lost.

Disconnecting the notebook from the Port Replicator

If you disconnect the notebook from the Port Replicator during operation, problems can occur. We recommend that you first switch off the notebook or disconnect the notebook via the corresponding function in the operating system.

Switch the notebook off.

▶ Pull the unlocking lever in the direction of the arrow (1), until you hear the notebook unlatch.
Lift off the notebook (2).

Connecting external devices

Under all circumstances, please observe the safety notes provided in the "Important notes", Page 2 chapter.

Read the documentation on the external device before connecting it.

Do not connect or disconnect cables during a thunderstorm.

Do not pull on the cable when disconnecting a cable. Always take hold of the actual plug.

Follow the steps below in order, when connecting or disconnecting devices to your notebook:

Connecting devices to the notebook

1. Turn off all power and equipment switches.
2. Remove power plugs from the mains outlets for all devices.
3. Connect all the cables to the notebook and the external devices.
4. Plug all data communication cables into the appropriate ports for the data networks.
5. Plug all power cables into the mains outlets.

Please note that connected external devices can discharge the battery of the notebook if no mains adapter is connected to the port replicator.

Disconnecting devices from the notebook

1. Turn off all power and equipment switches.
2. Remove power plugs from the mains outlets for all devices.
3. Unplug all data communication cables from the ports for the data networks.
4. Disconnect all the cables from the notebook and the external devices.

Information about the connections on your notebook can be found in the corresponding EasyGuide.

The "Professional Notebook" manual supplied with your notebook includes a section titled "Connecting external devices". This chapter describes how to connect external devices (e.g. mouse, printer).
